AMMONIUM BORATE is used in fireproofing wood and textiles, and also in electrolytic condensers. It can be indirect additive used in food contact substances.

BORATE, a salt of boric acid, is used as a food additive in the European Union. This additive is authorized for use as preservatives of sturgeon eggs (caviar).

Tetrofosmin is a phosphor-organic compound, belonging to the group of diphosphines. Tetrofosmin is used as a component of a Technetium (99mTc) tetrofosmin complex. Due to the relatively short half-life of Tc99m (6 hours), just before the administration, the solution of tetrofosmin should be reconstituted with Tc99m pertechnetate to form a complex of Tc99m Tetrofosmin. When administered intravenously, Tc99m Tetrofosmin shows rapid myocardial uptake and its distribution follows a linear relationship with coronary blood flow. It is taken up by the mitochondria of myocardial cells by passive diffusion and appears to accumulate in viable myocardial tissue. Tc99m Tetrofosmin is used as a diagnostic agent used to assess areas of reversible myocardial ischemia in the presence or absence of infracted myocardium and is also used to assess ventricular function.
